Hacker Prevention: Reducing Your Risk in a Few Easy Steps

With a new corporate virtual data reality settling in, the US government now plans to hold some businesses legally responsible for the holes left open for a hacker to sneak in. You can be legally challenged by the FTC for not taking the required measures for keeping your data safe (read more here). With the new legal and financial risks…

Computer Issues that are costly to ignore

A Slow Computer

A computer running to glitchy or too slow is one of the most common reasons why people ask for a professional IT repair help. They take their computer into a repair shop because the computer is operational, but not to its full capacity. As vague as the very problem is, so are the possible reasons for this problem… It may be that your hard drive is overloaded with too many files. Or you may also have some sort of a malware, viruses or spyware infecting the PC. Perhaps you just need to have more RAM installed. A professional system tune-up will usually be what it takes to get your computer working as fast as new again…

Poor Internet Connection

Another big factor that brings people and their PCs to repair shops is the Internet connectivity issue. While it may seem as easy to fix, the repairmen are not always able to immediately identify the cause and fix it right away. While the problem may be the result of some settings or a configuration glitch, it could also be the internet service provider who’s at fault. If true, such a problem is not up to the repair shop to fix.

Spyware Or Virus Infections

When you surf the web, its important to understand that you’re always exposed to a risk of potentially infecting your computer with some sort of spyware or computer virus. Computer viruses have been invented as soon as the first computer was and they’ve been around for ages. Nowadays they continue to wreck havoc on today’s computers. Some viruses can delete your files, violate your computer privacy, and as detailed above, even slow the computer’s performance significantly.

Computer Fails To Boot

If your computer fails to boot (or launch an Operating System, like Windows) it can be quite frustrating. The good news is that this can often happen due to something as easy-to-fix as a bad power supply. Simply switching the power supply will get the computer back to a normal booting routine and running without losing any of the data stored on it. However, there might be a lot of other reasons which may not be as easy-to-fix as in this case. So ultimately your computer will need to be taken in for repair.

Windows Fails To Load Properly

Finally, many people take their computer to a repair because Windows fails to load properly. This is different from a computer that fails to boot or turn on, as it clearly is not caused by the power supply. Actually, this can be caused by some corrupt windows files or even a hard drive that was damaged. In case the problem is a failing hard drive, you may be in danger of losing your files. Because of such a danger, it is crucial to back-up your files regularly.
